I have just started "upcycling" my t-shirts. I am all for easy projects at this point, and I feel I have done enough ruffles. This method of making fabric flowers really cuts down on the time needed to complete a project...plus I have sooooo many buttons and waaaaay too much fabric. I am going to have so much fun with this. Thanks!

I loved this tutorial as it showed that you don't have to be an accomplished sewer to be able to make pretty things and embellishments. I have two granddaughters that I could make flowers for and use in so many different ways. Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us here.

Really cute flowers. I liked seeing the different button choices, and fabrics. Clear instructions, well presented. However, I'd appreciate a shorter video. I often skip videos because I don't want to take the time to watch them, especially if I'm not going to make the item right away. Often I'm only tucking ideas away in my head. The flower is simple and the process intuitive. I don't need really detailed instructions. A slideshow might have conveyed the process much more quickly. Save the videos for more complicated projects. Maybe skip the repetitive parts, like sewing the whole length of fabric. Would rather see video of variations in fabric, size, folded vs not folded, embellishment ideas.

Well I'll be Emi. I have been trying every fabric flower I could fine for at least six months . Some have turned out ok but none the way they looked when an expert made them. I tried yours ,after watching you and low and behold it looks great. Thank you so much. I,m going to put them on everything.

Love these! I think using striped fabric would be wonderful--put the stripes going across the short side of fabric so when it is gathered, they fan out from the center.

They turned out quite nice, one could find many places to use them for embellishment.

Thanks for the tutorial!! You make it look so easy...off to rummage through scrap material now! I have an idea that made in smaller sizes these flowers would be fantastic on scrapbook pages and even on greeting cards!!!

Loved the tutorial. It's easier to see a project made than it is to read directions. And you can never go wrong with flowers! They will go on LOTS of things. And big girls or little girls love flowers. You could even have a little person do this project with supervision.

This is a great tut! Great way to use scraps too. I made a couple including some with 3 tier and added some furry yarn. They look great.

Thank you for a great tutorial! Everything seems easier to make once you can see "how it's made". And this is one of those things. Thanks again for posting.

Sharing Your Own Images

Who can share images?

You! Anyone who is a registered and logged in user.

What should I share?

Please share images that will help other visitors. For example:

Images that highlight a article's features ("Here are the controls on this music player", "See the clasp for this necklace", "Look at the box this came in")
Images showing someone using a product ("Here I am wearing this scarf", "Install the ink cartridge here")
Images related to a topic ("My dog Skipper", "A great outfit", "Our family at Yellowstone", "How to glue a chair using a cabinet clamp")
Images that show how a product performs ("I took this picture with this camera", "This shirt shrunk in the wash", "The saw blade after 100 cuts")
Images that give a sense of the size of the product ("This refrigerator is actually 6' tall", "A cellphone the size of a credit card")

Do include captions for your images. While not required, they provide context for your images. Additionally, you can use the Image Notes feature to highlight one or more interesting areas in your image. Everyone will see your notes when they roll over your image.

What shouldn't I share?

Behave as if you were a guest at a friend's dinner party: please treat the Prime Publishing community with respect. Do not share:

Profane, obscene, or spiteful images, or any images with nudity
Images to which you do not own the intellectual property rights
Images featuring phone numbers, mail addresses, or URLs. You can watermark an image with copyright information.
Images featuring availability, price, or alternative ordering/shipping information
Images featuring external Web sites, contests, or other solicitations
Any personal information about children under 13
Images with automobile license plates that are prominent and easily read (pictures with license plates that have been fuzzed out or that otherwise cannot be read are acceptable).

The same guidelines apply to your captions and notes.

What image formats and sizes are supported?

We support JPEG, GIF and PNG images. Files must be no more than 1MB. Both the image height and the image width must be between 60 and 3500 pixels.

Instead of uploading an image, can I just enter a link to an image?

No, all images must be uploaded to Prime Publishing. This ensures your image is always available.

How long does it take to upload an image?

The time varies depending on the speed of your Internet connection and the size of the image file. For a 400KB image, for example, you should expect 2 to 4 minutes over a 56KB modem and under 1 minute for DSL or cable modem.

Where will my image appear?

Generally your image will appear where you uploaded it: in the article image gallery.

Who owns the images I upload?

The rights owner of the image continues to own the image; uploading your image to Prime Publishing does not transfer ownership.
